That’s the real campaign challenge for the Left Block Pete. How many unregistered (likely young) voters can be delivered to the Polling Booths before election day and thus effectively make it a one step process?

Does it matter? If young people can’t be bothered voting then is it a problem if they don’t?

It took me more then thirty years after I became eligible to vote to take much interest in politics.

The Electoral Commission can’t wave a wand during a campaign and suddenly make parties and candidates engaging and interesting and relevant, and the parties and candidates probably do more to deter rather than attract serious interest.

As I say, challenge for the Left, if they want to win. In, the end the Greens didn’t need Coromandel in 99, because they got over the 5 with a very effective Specials campaign, largely in London and Sydney.

Though totally unscientific & liable to be rigged by people voting multiple times the stuff poll strangely mirrors the TV3 poll for the leading two parties – a bit of hope for TOP voters too. Not what I suspected from a lefty media site.
